When a JCOMM has a Color Monitor, the customer Modbus RTU connections are made to the 
JCOMM Connections Panel on the left inside of the unit.

On PDI RPPs the Color 
Monitor 

upstream

 

Modbus connection is 
brought to a terminal 
block for convenient 
customer connection. 

Downstream connections 
are internal to the RPP 
and are wired at the 
factory.
